Abstract (en)
A bearing locating mechanism (300) for locating a turbine bearing (220) in a bore (212) of a housing (210) includes a conical pin (320) having a pin axis where the conical pin (320) includes a conical wall portion (323) and a pin portion to locate a turbine bearing; a ball (330); and a socket (302) disposed in a housing and extending between an opening (206) of the housing (210) and a bore (212) of the housing, the socket (302) having a socket axis where the socket includes a cylindrical surface (310) and a conical surface (314). According to such a mechanism, disposition of the conical pin (320) in the socket (302) seats the conical pin (320) along the socket axis and against the conical surface (314) and disposition of the ball (330) in the socket (302) seats the ball along the socket axis and against the cylindrical surface (310). Accordingly, alignment of the ball (330) with respect to the conical pin (320) allows for transmission of force from the ball (330) to the conical pin (320) along the pin axis.
